Home Exchange / House Swap

OxfordOX2 6PXUnited Kingdom

A family house in a quiet Oxford neighbourhood

We are looking to swap houses. We will be on sabbatical leave and plan to be away from Oxford for the full academic year 2019-2020. We can offer our house for the whole year. We are a family of 5: we have three daughters who will then be 4, 7 and 10. We hope to use your house from mid-August 2019 to mid-December 2019, possibly to January 2020, to be agreed. It has to be large enough to fit us and be located in the district of a very good primary school. Otherwise we are very much open to offers! We are considering several locations at present linked to universities that we have visiting offers from including Santa Barbara (or Montecito) CA, Berkeley CA, Vancouver, Sydney. Our plans are still flexible - any questions please ask!

Our house in Oxford is in Waterways, Summertown, which is a quiet yet very popular and family friendly part of Oxford, known for excellent schools. It's a spacious 4 bedroom house, with an open plan kitchen+dining area, a sitting room and a playroom. The house is located in a very quiet cul-de-sac street with virtually no traffic, extremely safe for children’s outdoor play and no vis-a-vis. Summertown high street with its shops, cafes and restaurants is 10min walk, beautiful Oxford canal is 2min away and Port Meadow by river Thames, very popular with walkers and joggers, is 10 mins away. Historical centre with Oxford Colleges is 10min by bike and we are within easy reach (walk, cycle, taxi) of two Oxford train stations for trains to London (1hr journey). Oxford is a wonderful place to live with a real community feel, excellent schools and an animated cultural scene.

The house is fully furnished. We also have 2 adult and 2 children bicycles and 3 scooters which you are welcome to use. The swap could also include the use of our car – a large 7 seater (Seat Alhambra Lux).The swap would include the use of our trusted cleaners. They currently come 3 times a week and also help with household chores but this could be reduced. The house has a maintenance contract so if and whenever anything breaks down it takes a simple phone call to get it fixed.
